Reasons why I love The Like<\/a>:<\/p>\n

1. Snappy songwriting. I was initially hooked by Release Me<\/i>, a subtle twist on a familiar trope, in which it is the girl begging the boy to let her go before she<\/i> breaks his<\/i> heart. I was further intrigued by Wishing He Was Dead<\/i>, a song for women wronged everywhere, and, the other side of the same coin, He’s Not A Boy<\/i>, simultaneously an appreciation of bad boys and a reminder that you can never, ever change them. (All of those songs are on their new record, also called Release Me<\/i>, which came out yesterday.)<\/p>\n

2. They do interesting things with percussion, from the drum intro to Fair Game<\/i> — a dramatic, fast beat that expands (but doesn’t slow down) to meet the guitars and the organ \u00e2\u20ac\u201c to the combination drums\/handclaps that kick off Release Me<\/i>. The drums are also strong in their early work; one of my favorite songs from their Are You Thinking What I’m Thinking?<\/i> (2005) is June Gloom<\/i>, mainly for the steady, rolling beat.<\/p>\n

3. In addition to the interesting drums, there are beautiful harmonies, with Z Berg periodically soaring over the rest of the band. Also, basically, all of their songs make me want to dance around the kitchen and sing along. I particularly enjoy the subtle modern bite of the lyrics next to the retro-sweetness of the music.<\/p>\n

4. Their whole-hearted commitment to ’60s style and glamour. Like their sound, their look is distinctive, different, and refreshing.<\/p>\n
